"We take great pride in the Macon Bacon naming rights (which our fans named), as we get to witness the smiles and laughter from our fan base – who have supported our branding since our inception -- that stems from the brand’s lighthearted and playful nature. We are a family-friendly organization and we are extremely grateful for our fans.

"With that, the Macon Bacon will be sizzling forever and will not consider a name change. Ever."

The Macon Bacon were founded in 2017 and play in the Coastal Plain League. The team name was picked by the fans and chosen over the Macon Soul, Macon Hits, Macon Heat and Macon Noise.

I am on a low carb diet in part because bacon is an important part of it.

I think the article is missing the point. The name is a play on words...

As I am sitting here eating bacon, the team name sounds fine.

[I want the USA back]

They’ve moved from slaveowners and civil war generals to pig meat.

It always escalates. Do not think they will stop at the latest atrocity. Once they destroy their target they find another.

After condemning pig meat, will they burn books written by Francis Bacon?

Insanity propagates into the general population.

Bacon ping! ;)

The Physicians Committee of Responsible Medicine is a bunch of leftist quacks. They're not about health, they're about social control.

Will they demand Kevin Bacon change his last name?

After condemning pig meat, will they burn books written by Francis Bacon?

They'll go after the production of pastries in a hot oven ...

[Red Badger]

If they change the name, they will lose every game from then on..................Because everybody knows “Everything is better with bacon!”.................

[Ex-Con777]

^^^^^

The physicians group needs to change their name by removing “responsible”.

EC

“Physicians Committee of Responsible Medicine”

They are unhappy if anybody is happy somewhere in the world.

[No name given]

That’s because we live in an overly sensitive, PC crybully society where you can’t say anything without offending someone in some small, little way.

"Macon Bacon’s glorification of bacon, a processed meat that raises the risk of colorectal cancer and other diseases, sends the wrong message to fans,"

LOL. This group has to be a parody.

[No name given]

If you ask me, I say they can all go bleep themselves

From their website (https://www.pcrm.org/):

The Physicians Committee promotes plant-based diets for good health and disease prevention. Learn about how nutrition affects disease risk.

'Nuff said.

And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
